Keeping Your Phone Safe and Clean at a Mole Festival
A day spent tasting mole means sticky fingers, crowded aisles and plenty of photos of glossy dark sauces. Your phone will be working hard, so a little preparation goes a long way before you set out to explore the stalls.
Choose a case that suits a food crowd
Mole is rich in oils from chillies, seeds and nuts, and it stains easily. A smooth, wipeable case is easier to clean than fabric or textured leather, which can absorb grease. Rugged cases with raised edges help protect the screen if the phone slips from your hand near a busy serving counter, while slimmer cases fit more comfortably in a pocket when you need both hands for a plate and a tortilla.
Practical habits for tasting days
- Carry napkins or wipes. Clean your fingers before reaching for your phone, especially after mole negro or mole poblano, which cling to everything.
- Use a wrist strap or crossbody lanyard. It keeps the phone secure while you balance food and drinks.
- Charge fully before you go. Photos, maps and messages to friends drain the battery quickly; a small power bank is worth bringing.
- Keep it zipped away in crowds. Busy festival areas anywhere in a large city call for ordinary care with valuables.
Taking better food photos
Natural daylight shows the deep colours of mole best, from the brick red of mole coloradito to the green of pipián. Wipe the lens before shooting, since a smudge of sauce will blur every picture. Shoot from slightly above to capture garnishes like sesame seeds, and ask vendors politely before photographing them or their stalls.
Before you go, look over the tasting map so you can plan your route, and browse the vendor pages to note which regional styles you want to try first.
